Born in 1947, in the small fishermen village of Old Harbour (Jamaica), Cedric Myton started music at a very young age. His ethereal falsetto and his particular gift to write lyrics predestined him to a musical career. At 16, he took the lead of The Bell Stars. At 20, alongside Prince Lincoln, he founded The Tartans and dropped his first hit Dance All Night, No.1 in Jamaica. At this time, Cedric Myton growing faith in Rastafari brings a new spiritual dimension to his music. In 1975, Cedric Myton and Prince Lincoln founded The Royal Rasses. Together they composed the album Humanity. The same year, Cedric met Roydell Johnson and Watty Burnett with whom he founded The Congos. The rich harmonies and the spiritual might of their lyrics lead The Congos to the legendary producer Lee Perry. In 1977, they entered the Black Ark Studio and recorded Heart of The Congos.
